Nashville vs Winnipeg in the playoffs

[Fastfrde]

If both teams are healthy and meet up in the second round, the only ones I will feel sorry for are the goalies. There is a lot of offence on these two teams. Both fanbases should have a great time competing with chants in the arena's too! (I have to give the edge to Nashville's fans from recent experience in last years playoffs)

Who is they and who are you?

Nashville is they and I am a fan of the Blackhawks so we. Don’t make me go search through all your posts and find one where you use an improper pronoun when referencing your team just to make you look dumb on the internet cause we all do it.

I like that the Preds have been consistent through the years. I guess having confidence in your coach goes a long way. How many coaches have they had? 2?

Their first handful of years weren't great, but their style allowed them to be competitive. Once they made the playoffs for the first time (2004) they had a pretty good run, missing the playoffs only once between 2004 and 2013. Then, two poor seasons in a row led to Trotz being let go, and the team has since become a monster.

Yep. Had Trotz from the team's inception until 2014. Lavy now.

Always felt that the Predators punched above their weight. Getting Forsberg, Neal and then Johansen then it was like okay, they play well AND have the fire power now. Crazy how good their defense is despite losing Weber, Hamhuis and Suter. 2/3 left for no return.

Thanks for the kind words!

I didn't feel like Hamhuis was a loss. Suter still gets his special "welcome" when he returns to Nashville. The Weber for Subban trade still isn't resolved, but the Predators did go to the SCF last year.

Yeah, I felt that the Subban for Weber deal was shrewd. Totally bought more time for a cup window with that deal. Suter and Hamhuis can have easily returned a 1st+ at the TDL but obviously Nashville wasn't going to trade them going into the playoffs.

Captain Blake Wheeler quote seems appropriate again:

"I just think that we've got to pump the brakes here a little bit," he said after the game. "We're talking Stanley Cup contender, we haven't even made the [expletive] playoffs yet. We're building this up a bit bigger than it is. We're just trying to get better every single game."

Until the Jets WIN 1 playoff game there is nothing to be excited about.

Come on.

Nothing to be excited about? Seriously? That was said to not count on things and to emphasize a lot has to happen for expectations and hopes to be realized.

As for being excited, of course there is reason and fans should be. Dynamic, deep and talented team that is having a terrific year. Young talent throughout the system and poised to be a factor for several years. Team run and managed very well, there is a LOT to be excited for and by.

Doesn't mean playoff success but no team is guaranteed that.

And I am just tempering my enthusiasm until the team actually wins games in the playoffs.

If they get swept again I will be taking a substantial hiatus from all things internet.

 

[Meatball]

It'd be some amazing, spirited hockey.

Go Jets.

Signed,

A Blues fan.

It'll be a great match up if they make it to the second round.

I think the Jets have more firepower in the form of skilled players. The Preds have a great system and work extremely hard on every shift up and down their line up.

Both teams skate well and attack in waves.

It'll come down to Hellebuyck vs Rinne i think.

Still, the Wild are coming on strong and Dallas can't be looked past. There's 4 really good teams in the Central

Different then no reason to be excited.

Nashville is a great team.

I am with the poster who said the Jets need to focus on winning a game in the playoffs first.

 

[Cellee]

It is a battle between first and second, so there's a potential second round match-up.

Although, I do see Dallas beating Nashville in seven if they were to meet in the first round.

Why?

Interesting prediction. Tell me more. Nashville has owned Dallas this season, by the way.

To finish off on your OP " I hope they get swept and we pick 18-21" Yes they are Nashville and we are the Hawks ... and Nashville goes out in round 1. 2 or 3 so that we can use their #1 pick for something hopefully near pick #17!!! Oh and best of luck to Hartman with your club as I'm sure your system will support his ability to raise his game.

If Nashville wins the the division the lowest they could possibly draft is 26th, and even that’s unlikely.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Nashville is my second favorite team and Winnipeg is just behind them.
It would break my heart to see either of them loose, lol

 

[cowboy82nd]

Im glad the great people of Nashville have just discovered our great game of hockey.

If you look, he's not from Nashville.

 

[Romang67]

I'm not sure we'd beat the Preds in a 7 game series. I am, however, sure it'd be one hell of a series.
